P R O J E C T S U M M A R Y
This 1970s estate nestled in scenic hills has undergone an incredible kitchen transformation. Entrusted by a vibrant, multi-generational family, we modernized the space while preserving its charm. By raising the ceiling to 12 feet and removing dividing walls, we created an open voluminous layout. New windows and a glass door connect the kitchen to the greenbelt views while flooding the space with natural light. The design blends modern and transitional styles with a gorgeous mix of white shaker cabinets, white oak accents, and a bold Hunt Club green island. Luxe gold fixtures and a hand-made forest-green tile backsplash add elegance, making this kitchen the heart of the home.

The kitchen’s dividing wall from the dining and living room was removed. The kitchen ceiling was raised from 8ft vaulted to a consistent 12ft feet high This enlarged the space and allows for a seemless transition between living spaces
KITCHEN Structural and MEP

PROGRESS
We removed the kitchen’s dividing wall to create an impressive open-concept layout. We raised the vaulted ceiling from 8ft to a consistent 12ft feet high. This required major structural and MEP work. In the end, this took the kitchen to a “grand” kitchen standing and resulted in an impressive open-concept layout with seamless transition between the living spaces
